Crop prospects and weather update from Des Moines report
The weekly crop report from Des Moines says crop prospects are fine with favorable field work progress. Recent mild, wet weather and frosts on the 11th to 13th helped small grains and pastures, though some local fruit and vegetable risk exists. Corn planting is 1/3 to 1/2 complete with germination advancing and soil quality generally good. 6 to 10 more days of good weather needed to finish planting across sections.
